Love your books. What is the source of you HATRED of lawyers? Is it something to do with when you had trouble with moving to america? I find Sharpe and Starbucks constant jibes extremely amusing and find unceasing pleasure in reading them to my godfather ( a soliciter). I am always suprised when I read people saying to authors partcularly G.M.F at his age “don’t stop writing” and nagging for more books. I would love for you to keep writing but I would not begrudge it if you retired early into well earned bloody luxury. Teddy Chabo
